A Fishy Thursday

I hope all of you had a wonderful Thursday! I had a mellow day running errands and researching recipes! Last night, my mom and I went to the grocery store and found a great deal on fresh cod from the fish counter. We bought some, and today I was in charge of finding a yummy recipe for it!

I eventually found this one, which turned out amazingly!

The tomatoes and onions brought out such a bold flavor and the fish was cooked perfectly. Would definitely make this one again! I rounded out my meal with boiled green beans and brussel sprouts and some fantastic couscous we got at the store. All around, a very satisfying weeknight dinner!
